I interviewed with one individual last week (male--high up within the company) with whom I had a great interview with, very professional, basically was a conversation the entire time about job experience, what I am looking for, etc.
Then I had an interview with a female, high up in the company. She was like A FIRING SQUAD. So many questions,....boom boom boom! Like rapid fire. I have noticed (upon thinking of past interviews, not with a pre conceived notion) that it seems to be the female CEO/executive/management types that tend to be.....super tough? firing squad? aggressive? I don't know how to explain it....while the males I have interviewed with have not seemed this way. Maybe it is all in my head.
I am not trying to gender stereotype, just wondering if I am the only one who has experienced this. I should note that I approach each individual in the interview with professional respect regardless of title or gender, and always interact professionally with all persons.
